Tumbler media

[coyn]

What are some of the things that you have used or heard used as tumbler media? I've read corncobs and walnut shells seem to work well but as I was looking at an empty bowl of popcorn I got to wondering how well the unpopped kernels would work. What are some other things that work?

I apologize if this is a FAQ but I searched and didn't see anything.

Stick with the corncob media or if you have a tumbler and want to make the investment, stainless steel. Stainless Steel Reloading Supplies | Tumblers, Seperators, Media & More!

Walnut shells for the first stage/dirty brass--Corn Cobb for final polish..This is the easiest and some will say the best..Bill.

Ceramic cylinders, stainless steel pins, rice are some of the stuff I've used.

Walnut and corn cob for sure... I started using a sonic cleaner and am impressed with the results that i have gotten with it. Maybe look it to that

I guess I've gotten cheap in my old age, but I use Petco Lizard Litter. Works like a charm and really, really cheap.

I use the fine grain walnut from Harbor Freight. Got 20lbs for $26 shipped. I buy Frankford Arsenal's corn cob ($11 for 7lbs) with some Nu Finish car polish and my cases look great.
